Twitter Mocks The Premise And Couples Of HGTV's "House Hunters"

HGTV's Hit Show Is Not Above Ridicule, It Seems

Watching "reality television" requires you to suspend your disbelief, surprisingly, a lot more than if you were watching an as-presented "fictional" show. Audiences want to believe what they're watching is real, thereby allowing themselves to be taken along for the ride.

The premise is simple. A couple will search for their ideal home with a preset budget to determine what they're willing to spend. Twitter users and show fans noticed a big disconnect between what the couple does and what their budget is, and proceeded to push the limits of disbelief to humorous effects.
